Hey Bill, I think I found you. Let me know.... amy

I need a buddy also! I seem to have lost all motivation. I have stopped exercising completely, I bought new clothes that are too small now, and I just eat things that I know I am not suppose to! I worked so hard to loose the first 50 pounds now I don't know what happened. It's like I just don't care anymore.

Somebody give me a swift kick in the butt to help me get back on track! (I think that's what I need)

NO NO NO more Bagels (my favorite)... I tried one a few months ago (2 fills ago) I took all the breading out of the middle even so it was really only the shell and put some cream cheese on it and it got stuck! I felt horrible the rest of the day. I don't think I will be trying that again especially since I have more restriction now. Good luck if you try.

I love my Wii Fit!!! I play everyday. I actually get sore from some of the strength training moves. The kids love it also, they don't even realize they are doing something good for them.

One Christmas morning my now ex-mother in law gave me a lovely shirt and as I opened it she says "I hope it's big enough" my response was "gee I hope they didn't raise the price too much for all that extra fabric"! The old hag is just as big as I WAS...

You have to remember they operated on our stomachs not our heads. I still go out to eat and think I can have an appetizer, salad, meal, and dessert! Well I can't physically, so mentally we have to remind ourselves everyday. Everyone is going to have a bad day now and then.

I am a tester I spent the past week or so testing myself and my band I certainly failed the test I gained 8 pounds. But now I am done with that and I will get back up and keep going.

It takes time it is really slow and sometimes frustrating but when we finally get the restriction we are looking for it will be easier (hopefully?). No I am sure it will be easier then.

As for the clothes in the garbage bags I did the same thing now we need to have a little self confidence and tell ourselves that we are never going to be in them again and throw them out or sell them or donate them whatever just get them out of the house.

Good luck

I was banded Jan. 23 with a 10cc band and I have 5.5 in it now. I am going back next Tuesday for another fill. My doc said he finds his patients with a 10cc band are usually comfortable at about 7-8cc's.

I feel sorry for you! I guess my Dr. either doesn't do that or just doesn't care because my insurance approved me litterally 18 hours before my surgery so I didn't have time to prepare at all. I stopped eating at 3:00pm the afternoon before my surgery.

I bring tuna, or egg salad for lunch a lot. I try not to bring lettuce too often it just doesn't stay with me long enough to make it until I get home without starving. I also bring cottage cheese or yogurt with fresh fruit cut up in it.

I was allowed to have any liquids after my fill. I didn't do very chunky Soups but I did have some noodles in it.

I took gas-x for a couple of days and drank warm liquids. It seemed to help. Walking also helps.

My doctor doesn't discuss numbers he always tells me we are going to see how you feel. When you feel you are done you are done..

I am down 27 pounds since my surgery on January 23 feeling great. A little nervous about moving on to regular foods. I don't want to fall back into the old habbits.

I was just banded 2 weeks ago today and people keep asking me if I am hungry and I still say "I'm not sure?" I think my brain needed as much surgery as my stomach! But I am always rumbling and grumbling I don't know why.
